You misunderstand.
People who react that way and feel that aren't doing so because they react strongly to minor things.
It means that they are engrossed on the emotional level to the point that the movie IS real to them. They intellectually know it isn't, but you get drawn in nonetheless.
It's no different from "rooting for" a favorite character from a book.

saw it last night
putting aside the suspension of disbelief required to digest the major plot advancement, to me there were a few unnecessary stretches of science
1) the range effortlessly lands and takes off from alien planets with similar gravity to earth, but it takes a Saturn-type booster rocket to leave earth? Why?
2) the 3 planets orbit a super massive black hole. Where then does heat and light come from to make the planets habitable? It can't be from the accretion disc because cooper flies right thru it. If it were hot enough to sustain a planet, it would have fried him immediately
3) the whole sequence on the water planet was dumb science and unnecessary. The orbit, the tides and even the existence of the planet itself that close to the black hole is just not possible according to what we understand about the gravitational forces around it
otherwise I really enjoyed the movie. I agree that the only reasonable explanation of the ending is that the hole is closed and mankind is now on 2 completely unconnected evolutionary paths
